NHTSA recall 25V658000
Electrical System, Exterior Lighting · Tesla, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) is recalling certain 2026 Model Y vehicles. The reverse lights may fail to illuminate while the vehicle is in reverse, due to a defect in the wiring. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Reverse lights that fail to illuminate reduce visibility and may not alert pedestrians or other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Tesla service will replace the reverse lights and reverse facia harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 26, 2025.
